Continually for the past week and a half, I have had difficulty playing Scrabble on Facebook, because of my need to update my browser. I have downloaded again and again, and Firefox also automatically updated, but it has always happened that my Scrabble application has loaded slowly at best. Some... Sign in to see full entry.

Only politically correct thoughts are allowed around liberals. To have thoughts of need is for the government to be there holding one's hand every step of the way. To have thoughts that break away for political correctness, perhaps back to traditional values, is to be a threat that must be silenced... Sign in to see full entry.

I silently applauded as I was listening on the radio this morning and heard the commentator say the word "irrespective." Too of ten I have heard educated people who should know better say the word "irregardless." Those I have heard make this grammatically grating word include pastors, teachers, and...

I would say that I agree Rush Limbaugh about 99.9% of the time--well, not quite that much.

Today I feared I had lost one of my medium weight gloves that I often where when cross country skiing. I lose gloves too often. I may have them in my coat pocket but then not have my coat pocket zipped closed. It seems, going back to childhood, I have never learned. Once my ranching uncle scolded me...

Commonwealth was the topic of ignorance I heard recently in the work breakroom. Some of my coworkers were talking about the commonwealth as something that was American. One guy was saying that Costa Rica was a part of the American commonwealth. I don't think we regularly or formally use the term,... Sign in to see full entry.

The last time I tuned into radio's Coast to Coast, I heard host Ian Punnet say that he might be losing his hearing. Most notably, of course, Rush Limbaugh is technically deaf and would be off the air save for the miracle of a cochlear implant. I have heard of rock music stars becoming hard of...
